Bellini
Slim cream acetate, the lens almost clear. For the woman who closes a notebook before dinner.
Hover · See it wornCream acetate poured the old way. The Bellini is the slim Parisian frame the rest of the market keeps trying to copy.
Worn with the Calatrava in white gold, the Bellini is the only dress frame I have seen that earns the comparison.
52-19-140. Near-clear lens. Optical-ready. The first slim frame in years that doesn't read as a costume piece.
Italian Mazzucchelli 1849 acetate.
Cut from the same cellulose-acetate blocks Mazzucchelli has poured since 1849. Every Soletti frame is sliced and shaped by hand, then tumbled for seventy-two hours. The polish is what acetate does when it is left alone long enough.

The frame for the woman who closes a notebook.
The Bellini is the most Parisian frame in the house. Slim cream acetate — the colour of a morning coffee with too much milk — and a lens cut so light it is almost glass. I drew it for the woman who closes a notebook before dinner, who arrives at a private dinner at eight and stays through the cigarettes.
Fifty-two at the lens, nineteen at the bridge, a temple cut narrow enough to vanish under a chignon. The acetate is poured cream, not painted cream — there is no surface coating, the colour goes all the way through. We tumbled the blocks for the standard seventy-two hours and the polish is what cream acetate does when it is left alone long enough.
We paired it with the Patek Calatrava in white gold because both pieces refuse to argue. They are the kind of objects a woman with nothing to prove allows herself.

Patek Philippe Calatrava
Bellini is the Parisian frame — slim cream acetate, the lens almost clear, intended for the woman who closes a notebook before dinner. The Patek Calatrava in white gold, rose-gilt opaline dial, is the dress watch every Patek catalogue is quietly built around. They are made for the wrist that arrives at a private dinner with nothing to prove.
